These ear rings were given to her by a relative, in order to sell them and have money instead. As I knew she was also considering selling some ear rings she had received from her lover, I decided I could buy these ones from her. Otherwise, she would have given them to a meat seller at the market, and had waited for that woman to give her the money later. Obviously I thought that was not quite safe, so I did the buying. Finally we have both benefited from this business. She has money and I have ear rings.
